Hi jcholewa; Re the IQ stuff. That was obviously written by academic ivory tower types. I don't wonder how they'd rate AMD's management v. Intel's. (Or Micron's v. Rambus's.)
Basically, what they did is look at how long the words that they used were, what kind of degrees they "earned", and how many books they had ghost written, LOL!!!
Does anybody really believe that Carter had an IQ of 175? Isn't it like, contradictory to be that smart and believe in Jesus? I thought that they used a standard deviation of 15 for IQ tests, and that would mean that he was 5 standard deviations above normal, LOL!!! Only 2.1% of the population has IQs 2 SDs higher than normal, the figure for 5 SDs must be something less than 1/10,000.
For numbers, SDs &c., see:

P.S. Oh, now I get it, BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Comments: You'd think Americans would have grown weary of "Bush is an idiot" jokes by now, but the popularity of this forwarded email suggests otherwise.
It's obviously satire, though in a few cases it has been posted around the Net as factual and, strange as it seems, hotly debated.
We have found no evidence of a "Lovenstein Institute" in Scranton, Pennsylvania or anywhere else. There's no trace of a "Dr. Werner R. Lovenstein, world-renowned sociologist" or "Professor Patricia F. Dilliams, world-respected psychiatrist" — not in this world, at any rate. All of the facts and figures appear to have been made up. Some versions of the text claim it was published by the Associated Press, which is not the case.
